“Lastivka” in a collaboration with the Ukrainian Embassy in Denmark would like to repeat the last year’s successful summer camp for children, who lost their parents because of the military conflict in Ukraine.
It has already taken thousand lives and forced more than 2 million people to leave their homes. Despite several ceasefire agreements the military abuse and the number of dead and injured people grows every day. Therefore we cannot hold back from the help to the children, affected by the war.
The positive experience from the last year’s summer camp for 44 Ukrainian children in Ikast and Ålborg has inspired us to continue the work to help more children, which have a difficult life.The purpose of our project is to give the children new growth and quality time far from the depressive routine. We are convinced that summer camp is a good chance to give the children their joy back, enjoy the fellowship and find new friends.Dates: 1.08.2016 – 15.08.2016.
Locations: Copenhagen, Ålborg og Ikast.
Target group: 60 kids from the different regions of Ukraine, who lost at least one parent, age 9 -14 years.We kindly ask You to support this project. We appreciate any kind of help and even the smallest contribution makes a difference. The contribution can be, for example: transportation, stay, food or various entertainments.

We, the Ukrainian Community in Denmark and friends of Ukraine, would like to express our condolences following the tragic deaths of some 30 Australian citizens and residents on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17.

We would like to support initiative of Ukrainian World Congress in urging you as G20 President to take the necessary measures to end President Vladimir Putin’s reign of terror that is threatening the world by calling on the G20 Leaders to immediately:

Petition to Russian Embassy
We, the Ukrainian Community in Denmark and friends of Ukraine, are writing to the Government of Russia. We are deeply upset and shocked with Russian intervention which began with annexation of Crimea in March 2014 and continued with support and organization of armed separatist-terrorist movements in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, so called “DNR” (Donetsk People Republic) …and “LNR” (Luhansk People Republic) who’s main goals are separation and destabilization of Ukraine.
Activities of such groups are an integral part of “hybrid” war conducted by Russia against Ukraine which is confirmed by irrefutable evidences of involvement of Russian military and special operations personnel in organization of and participation in the separatist-terrorist movements.
There are numerous evidences of illegal supply of materials along with light and heavy weapons (including tanks, artillery, multiple rocket launchers and surface to air missile systems) from Russia to the terrorist groups.
There are documented cases of shelling of Ukrainian territory by mortars, artillery and missiles from the Russian territory.
According to National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine , on 23 July 2014, Russia has concentrated on its border with Ukraine 41000 troops, 150 tanks, 400 of armored vehicles and 500 artillery systems.
Aforementioned war activities conducted by Russia lead to numerous civilian casualties of Ukrainian citizens and citizens of other counties as it was in the case with flight MH17.
Along with military aggression against Ukraine, Russia kidnaps Ukrainian citizens on Ukrainian territory as in the case with Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko, illegally detains Ukrainian citizens as in the case with Ukrainian movie director Oleg Sentsov and Ukrainian reporter Yevgeny Agarkov.

Russia bluntly put the sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine under a threat and violates:
• provisions of the UN Charter;
• Final Act of the Conference on Security & Cooperation in Europe, 1975;
• the terms of Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, 1994;
• Agreement about Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Russian Federation and Ukraine, 1997.

Regarding this we are requesting Russian Government to take their agreed responsibilities accordingly to the international law and demand following:
1) Withdraw Russian armed forces from the territory of Ukraine and stop shelling Ukrainian territory;
2) Stop supplying terrorist organizations LNR and DNR with funds, materials and weapon;
3) Request terrorist organizations DNR and LNR to give up their arms;
4) Release kidnapped and detained Ukrainian citizens Nadiya Savchenko, Oleg Sentsov and Yevgeny Agarkov;
5) Stop spreading disinformation about events in Ukraine and not to interfere with the work of journalists.
With sincerest gratitude,
Alina Protsyk

Revoking the privilege granted to Russia of hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup

Dear Mr. Blatter,

We, the Ukrainian Community in Denmark and friends of Ukraine, would like to support initiative of Ukrainian World Congress in urging FIFA to consider blatant disregard by Russian government for international law, which manifests in annexation of Crimea and direct support of terrorism in Eastern Ukraine.

We would like to call upon FIFA to revoke the privilege granted to Russia of hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup, an honour of which Russia has proven itself unworthy.

They are coming to Denmark to present a movie about Maydan and share their stories. They are also bringing some real things, “artifacts” from Maydan, to show. We are working on the possibility to organise a small side exhibition (to be confirmed).

We know it is a very short notice but we hope you will be able to adjust your schedules and come to get the information from the first hand.

The participation is free of charge, but as this trip is self-sponsored, we kindly encourage you to contribute with any amount to help the activists to cover their benzin expenses.
